Keeping the space station manned is not worth selling our security out to Elon musk.
Cutoff space X from federal contracts unless they can Musk. This is a clear and present danger

Here's what this means: Republicans are plotting to cut health care for seniors and veterans to grease the wheels for tax cuts for giant corporations and billionaires like Elon Musk.

This week the Guardian's owner, the Scott Trust, gifted the 233-year-old Observer to Tortoise Media.
This isn't just a dark day for journalism, it's a sign.
Meet the team.
This is Putin giving Tortoise's energy advisory board member an 'Order of Friendship' medal in 2017.

The full low-down on RFK Jr.’s connection to a deadly measles outbreak in Samoa and, just as important, how he lied about it. That’s key. Kennedy is an inveterate liar. He makes up facts & plots, and he lies about what he himself has said. Another con man.

How RFK Jr. Falsely Denied His Connection to a Deadly Measles Outbreak in Samoa
He also championed a Samoan anti-vaxxer tied to the 2019 lethal eruption that killed scores of children.

Please don't call what RFK Jr. and Jay Bhattacharya are going to do medieval. It's not medieval. It's nothing like the Middle Ages. People in the Middle Ages were happy to try all kinds of things to not die of the plague and if you'd given them antibiotics and vaccines they would have loved it.

Final thoughts today. My conclusion is that many in the US have no idea what's coming for it. Can't/won't believe. 'The institutions will hold'. 'There's always the courts.' Let's hope so. But the plan is shock & awe. Think high-profile scapegoats, a climate of fear, institutional cowardice.
NEW: The great Trump-Musk crackdown is coming. And it will hit hard & fast. Journalists will be first. But everyone else is next.

HHS has routinely imposed the "death penalty" on small businesses, barring them from participating in Medicare.
But it has never barred a national Medicare supplier -- even when that company has repeatedly committed fraud.
Some companies, it seems, are too big to ban.

TBH I’m surprised Trump’s transition team is concerned about this. They didn’t seem to flinch at Pete Hegseth’s Nazi tattoos and Trump was convicted of sexual assault himself.

Looking forward to all the news headlines: "Most Americans Said No to Trump; No Mandate Achieved." And all the think pieces about how he must proceed with a cautious agenda that reaches out to the majority that did not vote for him. Coming soon, right?
